Yes. Given a choice between V.A. and Medicare, or your friendly for-greed insurance company, I’ll choose government health care every time, both in terms of cost and quality. Got any more stupid questions?

I have strong indications that, if detainees from Guantanamo were to be transferred to Fort Leavenworth, a number of Muslim countries would decline to continue to send their students to the Command and General Staff College. This would have a very negative outcome for our military officers, the school, and the health of our relationships with Muslim nations.

“President Washington responded by proclaiming November 26, 1789 the first official Thanksgiving, noting, “It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly implore his protection and favor.”” PuddyEmphasis

And for the atheists on HA Libtardos Puddy agrees with George Washington, acknowledge the providence of Almighty God!

It’s very telling when the libtardo MSM is up in arms over the Catholic Church telling Patrick Kennedy he can’t get communion over his pro abortion stance. Butt where were these same libtardo MSM voices when Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm asked this of religious leaders?

“Regardless, the latest dust-up over the science of climate change appears unlikely to affect the dynamics of either a pending debate in the Senate or international climate negotiations in Copenhagen next month.”

“Reeling from claims that it has massaged data to show a 150 year warming trend where there isn’t one, NIWA’s chief climate scientist David Wratt, an IPCC vice-chair on the 2007 AR4 report, issued a news release stating adjustments had been made to compensate for changes in sensor locations over the years.”

So the equipment needs variation control. Is it P, PI, or PID? Notice this dude is part of IPCC correctnotright? Maybe he fits Puddy’s Peer Reviewed definition.

A cowboy appeared before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. ‘Have you ever done anything of particular merit?’ St. Peter asked.

‘Well, I can think of one thing,’ the cowboy offered. ‘On a trip to the Black Hills out in South Dakota , I came upon a gang of bikers, who were threatening a young woman. I directed them to leave her alone, but they wouldn’t listen. So, I approached the largest and most heavily tattooed biker and smacked him in his face … Kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring, and threw it on the ground. I yelled, ‘Now, back off!! Or I’ll kick the crap out of all of you!’ St. Peter was impressed, ‘When did this happen?’

Republican candidates have extended their lead over Democrats to seven points, their biggest lead since early September, in the latest edition of the Generic Congressional Ballot.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 44% would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate while 37% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent. Support for the Republican party held steady from last week, while support for Democrats dropped slightly. Republicans have held the lead for over four months now. Democrats currently have majority control of both the House and Senate. Voters not affiliated with either party continue to heavily favor Republicans, 44% to 20%.

The Atheist Progressive krowd has blown all their political capital. If their Socialist Health Care debate and vote drags out into 2010, it will be even worse. Tax the Rich?? Folks without jobs can see that only eliminates more jobs.

Hey Puddy– How was that turkey yesterday? I’m still waiting for your “secret recipe” e-mail. Soaking the turkey in brine & spices was mighty fine. I love making Thanksgiving Dinner. Mrs. C handles the veggies…I do the rest, including the clean-up. Why? Because I am soooooo thankful to have a beautiful Christian wife. Being married all these years to me and 4 kids…that’s a lot!

So does Gregoire’s smoke-and-mirrors, unsustainable Union-pleasing Budget fiasco. Being lazy & unemployed for decades…have you no shame sir? It’s one thing for someone hard-working to lose a job…but your ilk is in a seperate category called FREELOADER DELUXE!

Hey Puddy– You think Goldy and his Northwest Division of Lunatics Moonbats will “spank” Obam-Mao??

By Stephen Clark – FOXNews.com

President Obama is days away from announcing a new Afghan strategy, but his immediate battle could come from liberals within his own party who are vowing to “spank” the president for committing tens of thousands of more troops to the eight-year conflict.

What is “spanking” Obam-Mao anyway?? Obam-Mao is their ‘messiah’. You don’t “spank” the messiah. TOO DAMN FUNNY! Obam-mao’s delays have cost many American lives and allowed the Taliban to retrench and get ready. Now Obam-Mao is throwing more troops into the lions den. Impeach Obam-Mao!

You think Goldy and his Northwest Division of Lunatics Moonbats will “spank” Obam-Mao??

They are Obam-Mao’s USEFUL IDIOTS! They get him elected to stop the War and cut the Deficit. Obam-mao does 180 degrees the opposite. But the KLOWNS still gloat over him. Only explanation– Kool-Aid and Pot-smoking!

“In his speech to the nation on Tuesday, President Barack Obama must persuade supporters who thought they’d voted for an anti-war president to back a plan expected to roughly double the number of troops in Afghanistan from when he took office.”

Well, the irony gets better when we have Roger Rabbit accusing those who want to begin pulling out – that would be 57 percent of Democrats according to Gallup and no doubt many on HA – of cutting and running.

I’ll email it to you later. Wife wants to go spend some money so you know what that means. Turkey came out very good, not great. The fried chicken was impressive.

As the fool in the above comment thinks he’s making points (EPIC FAIL AGAIN), we have another houseful of foreign students again this year. They loved the food. Some never had mangoes before. Wife makes them a special way. First time for them to experience an American Thanksgiving. We praise God we can do this for foreign university students. Becoming a tradition.

One of the columns this morning (The column Shuster cited was written by Arianna Huffington in the Huffington Post) saying this is like another Katrina that building off our coast and the perception of the Obama Administration is either been asleep at the switch, or hasn’t done enough or hasn’t recognized the gravity of the problem. I think it gonna be a huge problem in 2010.

40. Puddybud Remembers Progressives Forget spews: we have another houseful of foreign students again this year.

A houseful?

We had a 21 year old japanese student with us during the summer. Great experience. Thanks to her I was able to appreciate how great we have it in this country, how fortunate americans are. Why people risk their lives to get to america.

Our student was in shock when she went with us to the supermarket. She learned that “super” means there is an aisle dedicated to pet food. She learned that americans have problems choosing from among all the different varieties of apples. Choices people in other countries don’t get to enjoy.

We talked about this over dinner yesterday.

The talk at the ylb dinner table was about why he refuses to get a job.

The troubles of the nation’s largest community organizing organization, ACORN, are being felt in the liberal Bay Area, where there is normally no shortage of supporters of the group’s efforts to provide free tax help and other services to low-income residents and people of color. … Bay Area agencies that had supported the group have cut off tens of thousands of dollars of funding.

Have the videos of a fake pimp/ho hurt acorn?

ACORN’s problems accelerated in September after widespread media coverage of the secretly recorded videos at the group’s offices in Southern California and elsewhere. Republicans and Democrats in Congress voted to cut federal funding for the organization. … Internal Revenue Service said ACORN no longer would be included in its list of organizations allowed to provide free tax preparation. … United Way of the Bay Area declared a moratorium on grants made to ACORN.

No doubt ylb will call an article by a liberal a bunch of right-wing garbage.

Anything that doesn’t fit into the pre-defined views of ylb is right-wing garbage.

By 59% to 36%, more Americans believe accused Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed should be tried in a military court, rather than in a civilian criminal court. Most Republicans and independents favor holding the trial in a military court, while the slight majority of Democrats disagree.

Funny that the first WTC bombers back in 1993 were arrested without invading any country, were tried and sentenced in “real american” courts.

When I read bumper stickers on pickup trucks in places like Mount Vernon and Tri-Cities, I feel gasoline should cost $25 a gallon. That would also help Roger Rabbit live like a Republican, because I own oil stocks.

@57, you see, that was my whole point, which was mis understood. Finally someone comes out and says that God doesn’t hate anyone…..for ever we are told that God hate fags, and no one said a word of condemnation. But finally, toss in that God hate Heterosexuals, and now we have the outsiders condemning it. See my point. Just trying to show that Heterosexuals through not being involved can also be bigots.

@71 I’d say that if people are surprised they weren’t paying attention.

You’re squarely behind his adding +50K more troops since taking office if he adds 30K more, but tell that to the 57 percent of Democrats who want to begin removing troops. These numbers will only get worse in the months ahead. This country is tossing in numbers and resources far out of proportion to its size when compared to its NATO allies. Why are we making this sacrifice in young lives when allies refuse?

Your position is much closer to that of Republicans, who Obama will increasingly rely upon for war support.

All of those Republicans expecting an easy coast to victory in the 2010 Congressional races based on the intellectual heft and wild popularity of the teabagger philosophers should look up from the Kool-Aid cup and think again. Reality is starting up with its liberal bias again.

Fundraising for Democratic campaign committees is surging, helping the party to extend a winning streak in competitive special elections and giving House Democrats a more than 3-to-1 advantage over Republicans in cash stockpiled for the battles ahead, campaign-finance reports show.

The Democratic National Committee, along with the fundraising arm for House Democrats, outraised Republican committees last month. Overall, all Democratic committees ended October with nearly $38.8 million cash on hand, compared with $21.3 million for Republicans.

…the House Democratic committee ended October with $14.5 million in the bank, compared with $4.2 million for House Republicans. [DCCC chair Chris] Van Hollen called the New York race [Owens v. Hoffman in NY-23] a “double loss” for Republicans. “They depleted a million of their already-smaller bank account … and they lost the race,” he said.

My position? And just how did you discern my position without my having told you?

If you’d like to know my “position” we never should have invaded either Afghanistan or Iraq, and given that we did invade Afghanistan despite the stupidity of the idea, we should have (a) actually catured or killed OBL and (b) followed thruogh with out promises to be different from teh USSR and stay and rebuild. Instead we undercommitted, started a second even stupider war, and basically left them twisting in the wind. Hooray for the liar and moron Bush.

So now Obama has to figure out what to do. As far as I can tell he is looking to try a multi-pronged, more expansive and expensive approach in the short term with concrete though limited goals, and if we aren’t progressing toward them we’ll get out because we will not support an open-ended commitment. More hints about my “position:” I think we should tell Karzai that if they don’t clean up their act we cut them off. It’s his problem not ours.

I also think that wars should be PAYGO just like domestic issues. Republicans like the war? They can damn well pay for it, then.

BTW, dude, I couldn’t understand a word of your forst coule of sentences. Try just simple subject-verb-object until you really have it down.

The passage is correct, “dude.” And from what can be “discerned” from your language above you’re behind his adding 30K + more troops – those are the number being discussed – if he has the plan you outline above. Is this correct or not, dude?

The ones I saw – he wasn’t wearing it. I wish he did – it would have been the same as a bozo the clown outfit in those offices. Obviously James had a bit more on the ball than your stupid ass could ever dream of having.

You’re suarely behind his adding +50K more troops since taking office if he adds 30K more

So I’m behind his adding troops if he adds more, but not behind adding troops if he doesn’t add more? Talk to me dude, what the fuck are you saying? Never mind, I think we’ve progressed here. I’ll start calling you “bro.” Or not.

“…but tell that to the 57 percent of Democrats who want to begin removing troops.”

What a cool claim! The only thing better that pulling a number out of your ass is citing a credible source for your assertions. But I know, work is so hard!

But here are some numbers, from the Intertubes:

“(11/20-22/09) Which of the following would you like to see President Obama do? Increase the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan by the roughly 40,000 the U.S. commanding general there has recommended. – Increase the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan but by a smaller amount than the 40,000 the U.S. commanding general there has recommended. – Keep the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan the same as now. – Begin to reduce the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan.”Increase by 40,000 37% Increase by Less Than 40,000 10% Keep the Same Number 9%Reduce the Number 39%Unsure 5%

Hey, you pay your money and you take your choice. You cite numbers without a link to check. Why?

Once again dumbass ylb arschloch, the 93 WTC bombers were on American soil when they plotted their act and tried to blow it up so they could be tried in a US Court. KSM and the other 4 were overseas. We extradited the 93 WTC bombers for personally committing terrorist acts on US Soil. What a stupid moron you are ylb arschloch!

You ylb arschloch, and a dump truck full of rocks are equivalent to a dump truck full of rocks. You add nothing to the dump truck full of rocks. You are as dumb as the rocks, even though you are a dumb brick! You are so dense no one comes to your aid.

Stupid, Very Stupid, and Exceptionally Stupid. All three in one unemployed package.

Sad so sad. A moronic atheist who can’t even approach the Creator of the Universe and pray for a small tidbit of intelligence. Sad so sad. A feckless unemployed moronic fool!

Now you’re being intentionally dense, or we can only hope so. You were asked:

And from what can be “discerned” from your language above you’re behind his adding 30K + more troops – those are the number being discussed – if he has the plan you outline above. Is this correct or not, dude?

It’s a simple question: If Obama proposes a plan along the lines of what you understand his thinking to be @77 (“As far as I tell . .), will you support his troop increase?

I mean, you seem to be going out of your way to avoid an answer. Yes or no? Got it?

You also seem to be entirely missing one of the key points @57, viz, that far and away key support for the war is coming from Republicans, not Democrats. Your poll data doesn’t capture that – isn’t that obvious? – so I’m not sure why you used it.

There have been a number of polls and stories that have talked up this growing divide – where have you been? – and these are simply not hard to find, “bro”:

ONE MORE TIME FOR THE MOST DENSE RIGHT WING DUMBASS (STUPES) IN EXISTENCE:

After 93 WTC Bombing:

Mastermind Ramzi Youseff escaped to Pakistan

Co-Conspirator Mahmud Abouhalima fled to Saudi Arabia and then to Egypt.

Both were tracked down and extradited to the U.S. for trial in a “real American” Court. Both were convicted and sentenced to lengthy prison sentences in maximum security prisons (very dreary places). Sentences that will last the remainder of their lives.

NO INVASION OF ANY COUNTRY, NO CORRUPT MILITARY CONTRACTS, NO MILITARY TRIBUNALS WERE NECESSARY!

Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who’s said there’s little support in Congress for adding troops in Afghanistan, met Tuesday with President Barack Obama, who is expected to ask for a significant buildup next week. … Obama is expected to ask for 34,000 more troops in an address to the nation Tuesday, according to news accounts.

That will not sit well with Pelosi’s fellow members of the liberal wing of House Democrats, and perhaps not Pelosi either. … “I don’t think there’s much support for sending more troops to Afghanistan in the country or in Congress,” Pelosi told reporters two months ago…

Right, and this is all well known by now, or one would have thought. And when Daddy writes this:

@87 What a cool claim! The only thing better that pulling a number out of your ass is citing a credible source for your assertions. But I know, work is so hard!

one is tempted to ask for the link to HIS poll data. Why? Because he wrote:

You cite numbers without a link to check. Why?

Amazingly, the data @87 that he provides is identical to the first set of data from the Gallup poll provided @91 – meaning it’s virtually certain it’s from the same poll. But the second set of data in the Gallup poll – just a half page down – IS the breakdown by party that shows this:

“57 percent of Democrats who want to begin removing troops”

You know, the data he referred to as “pulling a number out of your ass.” So he saw the first set of data, but not the second just a half page down? He’s either dense or dishonest . . .

Once you cut through all Daddy’s tacking and blather above it’s apparent he doesn’t want to come out on HA and say that he supports sending more troops.

ylb arschloch equates a fool in the US planning and personally performing a terrorist act and running overseas to a foreign fool never stepping onto American terra firma planning a terrorist act and having others personally perform the act. To him these are the same thing.

Are you leaving us, Puddy? Oh please, oh please, tell us that it is so. To shed a such a prolific wingnut babbler like you would so increase the quality of discourse on this blog. Hell, we might even get to have some serious discussions on the threads without your incessant nonsense.

@100 Yeah, puddy, why don’t you just line them all against a wall and shoot them like the Nazis did and let God sort the innocent from the guilty, as you lack the intelligence to cope with a fair system of justice.

Puddy hurls: “One is a domestically located terrorist, the other is an enemy combatant.”

Ah, yes, such distinctions are clear to everyone, written in stone, and otherwise indisputable. Oh, and these distinctions plainly are free of any partisan considerations. Puddy, did you ever take a philosophy class?

Oh, I forgot to tell you, Puddy, that I think I have a bit better understanding of how our courts work than you do. Not a jury in the land will let this guy go, if that’s your fear. Of course, you have so many fears that even beginning to identify them would take a therapist’s lifetime. All you folks on the right have any more is fear. That’s what joins you, inspires you, makes your day.

As Marvin wrote above, 59% of common United States Citizens want these “progressive peeps” tried in military courts. Why do you think Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm’s popularity among independents is swirling down the toilet? Because the independents also disagree with “you lawyers”.

Puddy sees you forgot the recent post about the 8 german saboteurs who were tried in US Military courts by the “great progressive” FDR. Now why did Roger Dumb Bunny forget this post? Puddy Presciently Postulates Roger Dumb Bunny can’t process or accept historical facts he can’t rewrite to produce one of his “this is how it works” farts. Butt Roger Dumb Bunny you can always get remedial help from you moronic mind memory malady by asking ylb arschloch to display the FDR post Puddy Previously Produced.

@88 – Government employees are discovered to have made a mistake. To the idiot above, that somehow proves that all government employees are incompetent and overpaid. Such stellar logic should put you in contention for Doug Feith’s (unofficial) title.
